§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions when star shells wore first used by the British Army in the War, and when the supply was fully adequate to requirements?
Mr. HOPEI have no official information as to when star shells were first used by the British Army in the War, but demands for an improved type wove received from the end of 1916 onwards. The supply was never fully adequate to requirements.
